::r' Frontier. VOLUME XXII. WILL FORCE PAYMENT. _ I ti County Board Directs That the De- i linquent Taxes Must Be Paid or Land Sold. TREASURER CRONIN GIVEN ORDER Delinquents, Resident and Non-Resident, Must Now Come to Limerick or Forfeit Tlieir Property. The board of supervisors Tuesday adopted a resolution which condences the collection of delinquent taxes to a nut-shell and takes hold of the . matter in a business like ■ way, and | will no doubt result in much good to the county. The plan comprises the compulsory jj payment of taxes or such disposition j of property upon which taxes are due as will turn into the county treasury money long due it upon lands, lots and personal property, and also shuts off the notorious tax lien foreclosure business out of which the land* syndi cate has reaped such a plentiful harvest. Supervisor Phillips presented a resolution, which was adopted, that the county treasurer be instruct- ^ ed, and authorized to proceed with a \ thorough investigation of all property j in the county, real and personal, and } notify all resident and non-resident j delinquents of their delinquency; that unless the taxes are paid within a reasonable time the county board will take such action as is necessary for the collection of the same. The treasurer is authorized to employ a clerk especially for this work and is instructed to report to the county clerk all property against which there are unpaid taxes with the names of | the owners thereof. The clerk is to present the report to the board, which will then divide the list of such prop erty among its members for inspec tion, each supervisor to be given i the property in his own district, and they then inspect the property and deter ^ mine whether it is worth the taxes. In the event of the land or other property is worth the taxes or more collections will be forced. If not vvorth the taxes it will be passed by, Ho that each supervisor will have a complete list of property in his dis trict upon which taxes are delinquent and will be able to determine by in specting each piece of land whether it will pay for the taxes against it or not. The board believes this work can be done at an expense of not to exceed $200 and intend that many thousands of dollars will be brought into the treasury thereby. H. 0. Jackson Buys Land. On Tuesday II. O. Jackson bought eleven acres of ground from the Fre mont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley { Railroad company just south of the depot where the log house, one of the town’s old land marks, stands. He paid $1,100 for the eleven acres. Mr. Jackson says he bought the land for the purpose of making show grounds for his cattle, and this will entail ex tensive building of barns, sheds and yards. He will also erect a residence on the place and make his home there. Mr. Jackson keeps some four or five hundred head of cattle on his ranch portheast of town, but desires better facilites for showing his stock to prospective buyers, He does not ex pect to begin building until about thev first of July. Revival Meetings. Messrs. Jamison and Crandall of Sioux City will begin a series of evangelistic meetings at the Presby terian church on Monday evening next. Their work is thus spoken of by a South Dakota paper:“The special services which have been held at the Congregational church for the past two weeks by Evangelist R. W. Jami son, closed Tuesday evening. The meetings are without reserve credited with having accomplished much good in their special work and have un doubtedly left their Impress upon many minds. My. Jamison has an parnest and sincere manner of speak ing to his audiences which reaches reason and their hearts, and conse quently goes deeper and lasts longer flian simply an appeal to the emo tions.” Good Words for the Great Ma jestic Range To whom it may concern: After two years of const ant use of a Majest ic Steel Range I take pleasure in recom mending it as a coal saver and a very satisfactory cooking stove.

This item, printed in two or more Boyd county papers, is another evi dence that you have to go away from home to learn the news: “A large supply of ties and piling has been un loaded at O’Xeill by the Short Line, which indicates that work on the A. and N. will soon commence.” But we will have to shatter their hopes by stating that the “large supply of ties and piling” consists of a lot of old bridge timbers gathered up along the road and dumped at the round-house here.
